Boston's Alden Shoe source is North River Outfitter. We are an Authorized Alden dealer in Boston, and offer one of the largest collections in all of New England. The Alden shoe comes from the oldest and most established family owned shoe factory in the United States. Alden still makes a benchmade shoe from the highest quality materials, and continues to produce shoes with a Goodyear welt construction, tempered steel shanks, pure vegetable tanned leather innersoles, and firm heel counters.
